Ducks Gameday -- A Depre(d)ssing Start

Game 2:(5) Nashville Predators at (4) Anaheim Ducks, 7:30 pm
Nashville leads series 1-0
On The Forecheck and Anaheim Calling -- click magnets.

Game One sure could have gone better, eh?  For those who may have missed it, here's my Sleek-style recap:

Daffy_duck_vs_pred_medium
I drew too much for Game One, so today I'm just stealing.

It certainly wasn't the worst Ducks outing I've seen, but can't really think of any aspect of the game where Anaheim outperformed Nashville -- admittedly I lost a lot of interest by the time the Ducks dug their 4-goal grave, though.  If the Predators had a Game One wish list, I'm pretty sure everything got checked off as "accomplished".

So now it's response time for the Ducks, and it had better be impressive.  Not just for the series' sake, but for yours truly -- I managed to snag two Row Bs for tonight's game, so I won't be around for game comments.  Look for the possibly-lucky green shirt on TV or if you're at the game, give me a high five or something.

Prediction: I enjoy the hell out of a Hayward-free evening, especially when Todd Marchant scores an improbable goal.

Go Ducks.

I’ll be there tonight, but way up in 430.

For optimism: A fortune cookie I opened today said “Good fortune awaits you at the end of the day.” I assume this means a ducks win.

It also said “01 15 26 35 39. 25” which I can only interpret to mean that hiller makes a miraculous return and we get goals from getzlaf and belesky with the help of the playoff ghosts of sammy pahlsson, giguere and pronger.

I don’t think TSN gets much of a choice. CBC’s airing the other four and they get first dibs on the series with Canadian teams. Then they picked Detroit and Pittsburgh series because it will lead to better viewer numbers.

TSN just gets what’s left.

Yeesh, I’m listening to the radio feed, and it sounds like they’re starting every intermission with a Carroll/Wood recap over the Honda Center PA system. Did they do this during the regular season?

On this Bobby-Ryan Stompgate 2, we may see an “optics” suspension, but I’m genuinely curious: when was the last time a player was injured because a skateblade went through the top of his boot?

It may have happened — I’m not always paying great attention league-wide — I just can’t think of it.

No one playing hockey at the game seemed to give a shit too. Not the coaches or players. Seeing as the puck was right there and he did manage to kick it free I’m calling it a hockey play. No suspension.

Plus I’m not really sure what protection there is on top of a boot, but I have to imagine that it’s significant.

by Earl Sleek on Apr 16, 2011 12:27 PM PDT up reply actions  

Last time it happened was to Staal. It was a little bit different though, it wasn’t the flat part of the blade like Bobby did.

It was the back tip of Subban’s skate that cut into Staal’s boot, and it was an accidental play so it was a little bit different. The top of a hockey boot has a wide thick tongue on it, but there’s no hard plastic like the toe or heel, so you can cut through it with enough force.
